“With You Alway.”
Wandering in wildernesses lonely,
By wide, blank waters of despair,
Or locked in on your dark heart only,—
Look for His Presence! He is there!
His smile is hid, serene and tender,
Behind the stifling mists of doubt;
Your dullness cannot dim His splendor,
Nor can your blindness shut Him out.
By wide, blank waters of despair,
Or locked in on your dark heart only,—
Look for His Presence! He is there!
His smile is hid, serene and tender,
Behind the stifling mists of doubt;
Your dullness cannot dim His splendor,
Nor can your blindness shut Him out.
Gathering with multitudes around Him,—
Their Master, though they know Him not,—
Find Him where men have always found Him,
Within their wisest, simplest thought!
Clothed humbly with familiar graces,
Beside you in your path He moves:
His Face looks forth from human faces;
His love is breathed through human loves.

With you, and waiting recognition
In suffering brethren, dumb with needs;
With you, the source of pure ambition,
The spring and flow of generous deeds;
With you, to lift your weak endeavor
Unto His service, large and free;
With you, and you with Him forever!—
For where He is, His friends shall be.
